When you visit Persepolis, you can rent a VR headset and see certain parts of the site reconstructed in VR. It's really impressive and drives home the scale of what was built.

Interesting! I went five years ago and didn’t see it there. It’s a great idea though. Did you go more recently or did we just miss it?

The nearby Naqsh-e Rostam (tombs of Darius and Xerxes among other things) was also stunning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naqsh-e_Rostam

I visited Persepolis (and the tombs) in Spring 2019.
